McDowall Cotter routinely provides such interpretation in the form of coverage opinions. We understand the anatomy of insurance policies and which provisions tend to cause trouble for their issuers. Our estate planning process includes planning for incapacity without probate, and consultations for making well-reasoned decisions whether you are married, have children, are single, or are part of a blended family. Our goal is to provide you with an estate plan that provides for dignity and privacy in the event of incapacity and provides for the efficient and cost effective transfer estate assets in the event of death.
